Jazz Unlimited Scholarship Program
One of the primary functions of Jazz Unlimited is to help develop the next generation of jazz artists by sponsoring scholarship competitions to provide young, aspiring musicians help to further their education.
Jazz Unlimited thanks all who make this possible: generous award donors, JU members, our judges, high school band directors, instructors, and parents! We are gratified that a whole new generation of jazz musicians will carry the legacy of jazz forward!
